Miss Letitia Stevenson, whO' lives in St. Louis, will be visit ing these places for the first time, and will be a unique attraction along the way. Despite advanced years, she proved herself a dough ty campaigner with Stevenson,, joining the campaign train for an extended tour and enjoying every minute of it. Of ■ pioneer stock, tracing back to Kentucky and North Carolina, she was featured last fall in a picture article, with full-page photograph, in Life. Thistle Club Mrs. W. L. Baker, Mrs. G. A.

To set the minds of his hearers at ease, he declared that he would not speak on “Potentialities of the Eisenhower Administration,” would not quote from the Read er’s Digest, nor would he use the subject “World Federation and Everlasting Peace.” He took as his topic “Folks,” and with that announcement launched forth on a round of anecdotes that kept the crowd highly entertained for an hour. In closing, he hit a serious vein for a very short time, during which he pointed up, not religion, but Jesus, and the quiet of the room was as noticeable as the pre vious waves of laughter. A sumptuous dinner was served from flower bedecked tables. The banquet ^committee was composed of A. G. Edwards, Jaimes I. Lawson, L. D. Jones, L. Russell McRae, Alden G. Bower, Albert B.
